 than that of any other variety except 

 the Sliarpless, and the carrying quali-

CRIMSON BEAUTY RASPBERRY. 



This new red raspberry is brought to 

 the notice of the public by Mr. A. M. 



Mr. Purdy says it is not a whit 

 behind the Marlboro' in productiveness, 

 tize, flavor, color, earliness and hardi-

 sprightly flavor, equally as liardy, more 

 productive, and of much larger size 

 and a bright scarlet color, and firmer. 

 It is stiperior to any i*ed raspberry I 

 have ever seen or grown— not except- 

 ing the Superb, Lost Rubies, Reliance, 

 Turner, or Cuthbert."

 grow the Hansell and Scarlet Queen 

 side by side and note the peculiarities 

 of these two aspirants for public favor.
